    High Performance Platforms

    High Performance Platforms Salvatore Orlando High Perfoamnce Computing - S. Orlando 1 Scope of Parallelism: the roadmap towards HPC • Conventional architectures are coarsely comprised of – processor, memory system, I/O • Each of these components presents significant performance bottlenecks. – It is important to understand each of these performance bottlenecks to reduce their effects • Parallelism addresses each of these components in significant ways to improve performance and reduce the bottlenecks • Applications utilize different aspects of parallelism, e.g., – data intensive applications utilize high aggregate memory bandwidth – server applications utilize high aggregate network bandwidth – scientific applications typically utilize high processing and memory system performance High Perfoamnce Computing - S. Orlando 2 Implicit Parallelism: Trends in Microprocessor Architectures • Microprocessor clock speeds have posted impressive gains over the past two decades (two to three orders of magnitude) – there are limits to this increase, also due to power consumption and heat dissipation • Higher levels of device integration have made available a large number of transistors – the issue is how best to transform these large amount of transistors into computational power • Single-core processors use these resources in multiple functional units and execute multiple instructions in the same cycle. • The precise manner in which these instructions are selected and executed provides impressive diversity in architectures. High Perfoamnce Computing - S. Orlando 3 ILP High Perfoamnce Computing - S. Orlando 4 Instruction Level Parallelism • Pipelining overlaps various stages of instruction execution to achieve performance • At a high level of abstraction, an instruction can be executed while the next one is being decoded and the next one is being fetched. • This is akin to an assembly line for manufacture of cars.

    Computer Structures for Distributed Systems Liam

    COMPUTER STRUCTURES FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS LIAM MAURICE CASEY C DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH 1977. - ABSTRPCI: A building block approach to configuring large corruter. iEerns is attractive because the blocks, either primitive processors or small computers, are daily becoming cheaper and because this approach alloiis a close match of the pcwer required to the pciler supplied. This thesis addresses the design goal of an expandable system where there is no premium paid for a minimal configuration and the cost of extra units of capacity is constant. It is shoiin that a distributed system, a system of homogeneous canputers loosely coupled by a cartmunication subsystem, is likely to be the best approach to this design goal. Some consideration is given to the form of the canmunication subsystem but the rain research is directed to.ards the software organisation required to achieve efficient co-operation between the canputers constituting the distributed system. An organisation based on the domain structures of protection schenEs is found to have advantages. Hitherto dcirtain management using capabilities has been centred around systems with shared. primary memory. This is because central tables have been required to implement the capability rrechanism. A model is developed which, by restricting. the sharing of some items and providing a 'global object' managerrent scheme to cover essential sharing, enables central tables to be dispensed with and dcmain managenent to be distributed. The main goal in achieving this extension is to facilitate dynamic and efficient load sharing but the model could equally well be used to provide, in distributed systems, the protection normally associated with danains.

Critical Success Factors in M-Learning: A Socio-Technical Perspective Vlad Krotov College of Business, Abu Dhabi University, UAE [email protected] Educational institutions around the world increasingly view mobile technology as an effective platform for educating a new generation of students. Unfortunately, educational institutions often fail to achieve substantial results with their mobile-learning initiatives. Studies on m-learning have produced several recommendations about how to improve of its success. These recommendations cover a set of factors limited to people, technology, and pedagogy. This qualitative case study adopts a broader socio-technical perspective on m-learning and produces an extended list of critical success factors in m-learning. These factors fall into organization, people, pedagogy, and technology domains. I used the Abilene Christian University as the site for this study.

Sipior; and Gert-Jan de Vreede Abstract IS 2010 is the latest in a series of model curricula for undergraduate degrees in Information Systems. It builds on the foundation formed by this earlier work, but it is a major revision of the curriculum and incorporates several significant new characteristics. IS 2010 is the third collabo- rative effort by ACM and AIS. Both organizations have worldwide membership, and, therefore, IS 2010 includes elements that make it more universally adaptable than its predecessors. IS 2010 is not directly linked to a degree structure in any specific environment but it provides guidance regarding the core content of the curriculum that should be present everywhere and suggestions regarding possible electives and career tracks based on those.
